Remember my little chair from last week?
Well, I decided to change it up a bit.
So I repainted the frame ivory and reupholstered the seat cushion with plain white canvas fabric. Then I painted some stripes on the fabric using some DIY fabric paint and masking tape.

It's really so easy.
and just in case you forgot, here's how far this chair has come since I brought it home from the thrift store...
